Hello, thank you so much for joining me today for Give Him 15, the title of today's post,

receiving, then representing.

In review, we've been looking at the concepts of revival and reformation, and the fact that they are linked

to Yahweh's assignments to Adam and Eve,

and therefore, to all of us. Each post builds on the neck, so if you haven't listened to or read

the first two, please consider doing so. In Genesis 1, 26, 7, and 8, Adam and Eve were told to multiply God's family.

And secondly, govern or manage or steward his earth.

Christ recommissioned the church to these assignments in Mark 16, 15 to 18, and Matthew 28, 18 to 20.

In Mark's gospel, he told us to preach the gospel in order to see people save.

In other words, multiply the family.

When this happens with great momentum and a large number of people come to Christ, we refer to it as revival. In Matthew's commission, Christ

instructed us to teach, not preach, teach his commandments in order to disciple nations,

enabling us to steward, manage, govern the earth according to his ways. When this occurs

on a broad scale, we call it a reformation.

The fact that we did not focus on both commissions in the charismatic and Jesus people movements caused us to lose much of the fruit and was devastating, devastating to America's well-being.

I'll discuss that in tomorrow's post.

Yesterday, I pointed out some differences in our goals

regarding revival, Mark 16, and Reformation, Matthew 28.

I want to make several more comparisons between the two today,

focusing on differences in their messages and activities. First of all, the messages and messaging. It stands to reason that with

different goals regarding revival and reformation, the messaging, the messaging would also differ, as with the

methods of delivery. So, number one, in Mark 16, Jesus told us to preach the gospel, which is the good news of Christ's redemption.
